Jeremiah 49:1-6
Judgment on Ammon
    1  Against the Ammonites.
Thus says the Lord:
"Has Israel no sons?
Has he no heir?
Why then does Milcom* inherit Gad,
And his people dwell in its cities? 
    2  Therefore behold, the days are coming," says the Lord,
"That I will cause to be heard an alarm of war
In Rabbah of the Ammonites;
It shall be a desolate mound,
And her villages shall be burned with fire.
Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance," says the Lord. 
    3  "Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is plundered!
Cry, you daughters of Rabbah,
Gird yourselves with sackcloth!
Lament and run to and fro by the walls;
For Milcom shall go into captivity
With his priests and his princes together. 
    4  Why do you boast in the valleys,
Your flowing valley, O backsliding daughter?
Who trusted in her treasures, saying,
'Who will come against me?' 
    5  Behold, I will bring fear upon you,"
Says the Lord God of hosts,
"From all those who are around you;
You shall be driven out, everyone headlong,
And no one will gather those who wander off. 
    6  But afterward I will bring back
The captives of the people of Ammon," says the Lord.
